    i won't even begin to mention all of the problems with that code...lol...

    try this:

    Code:
    <html>
<body>
   <form action="test.php" method="POST">
      <input type="text" name="username" /><br/><br/>
      <input type="submit" value="Submit Data"/ ><br/><br/>
   </form>
</body>
</html>
    and then in a file called "test.php", put the following:

    PHP Code:
    <?php print $_POST["username"];?>

      well I'm using easyphp, and I think it's something because of that program.
      Can I configure in another way, or there is any other program?
      thanks

        <!--this should be in your HTML file-->
        <HTML>
        <FORM>
        Please type your name here:<BR>
        <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=username><BR><BR>
        <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit data">
        </FORM>
        <BR><BR>
        You typed:


        <?php
        //this should be in your PHP file
        echo ($username);

        ?>
        I think this is the way that this should work...that way you send the $username to through the URL. I am not 100% for sure, because I am also sort of a newbie
        thanks

          That won't work, that's almost identical to his script.

          If you just want it all on one page, then first sort the html out.
          PHP Code:
          <html>
          <head>
          <title>Blah</title>
          </head>
          <body>
          <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
          Please type your name here:<br>
          <input type="text" name="username"><br><br>
          <input type="submit" value="Submit data">
          </form>
          <br><br>
          <?php
          echo 'You typed: '.$_POST['username'];
          ?>
          </body>
          </html>

                Uhm, yes. Look at the sticky thread of this forum. It's the one at the top, starting with "PHPDEV"...

                    I guess you read the FAQ and the manual? AFAIK, this package ships with phpMyAdmin. With this application it's a piece of cake to create databases. I don't use PHPDEV though, but for installing it would be better to ask again and to give some more details.

                    Your initial question is solvable without any database access. Does it work now?
